14th March 2007Some time ago I sought help in tracing my grandfather (my grandmother was Francis Florence Gingell). I have since learned of a dastardly tale! It seems that the then Lord Methuen (a certain field marshall no less) was a wicked old goat who amused himself with the young serving girls at Corsham Court. Has any one else heard anything about this and can they add to the story. Should I be hiding my head in shame or laying siege to Corsham Court as the rightful tenant!

28th June 2006My daughter has been researching the family history, but we can't find one name. My father's name was Reginald Daniel Gingell and his mother was Frances Florence. We can't find his father ie, my grandfather. Can anyone out there help?
